When I visited this facility looking for a small apartment for my aunt, the staff and residents were friendly and welcoming and that is the same after 6 months. I see staff interacting with residents and residents participating together in activities.
Staff members have called me immediately about any health concerns they have for my aunt. There are emergency calling devices in place so residents can request help immediately. There is a staff member available in the facility 24/7 and that was very important to us. My aunt says she is very happy there.

I'm living in Brookdale Charlotte East. I've been here for two and a half years now. The rent is very expensive, but everything is provided for me. They provide two meals a day. Free laundry and free transportation. We go out twice a week for our shopping. They take us to the library. They take us to a doctor's visit when we need to go to the doctor. I go to the VA whenever necessary. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We have a dining room where they provide meals to us. It's like a regular dining room.
We have movies just about every night at 7 p.m. We have internet in our room, but we have to pay for the cable access, which is $25 a month, which is not bad. They have about three cooks available; the food is provided for us. We have a maid service that comes and cleans our rooms every other week. We go out to restaurants a couple of times a month for dinner. Maybe we'll go out to LongHorn or Olive Garden or something and that's something we have to pay for. Well, some things could be better, and some things could be worse. Overall, I would say the value for money is about a 5. It's a gated community, so everything is safe.

My father will be moving into Brookdale Charlotte East. It's the most affordable while still being a nice facility. They seemed to offer a lot of activities and a means for my father to get around and do things because he's still physically perfectly capable. He doesn't even have a walker to get around, but we are getting concerned about his driving, so he would still be able to go to different stores and the doctors and do other activities, and they have a lot of stuff going on. I also like their meal plan, so he wouldn't have to worry too much about getting something to eat.
We got a tour of the facility especially the rooms, and it's small, but it's big enough that he's got a kitchenette, a separate sleeping area, his own bathroom, that kind of thing. They just seemed very accommodating. He doesn't need any medical or health assistance yet, but because he would be in that facility, they would still be checking on him. A big thing for us is the price because my dad only has Social Security coming in. He does not have a retirement plan or anything like that. This is the place that seemed to best fit his budget because everything else that we looked at or inquired about was well over his budget.
The customer service person that we talked to was very nice and very accommodating. Our visit time was pretty limited and it was focused on touring, so I didn't see any activities going on, other than people were gathering for lunch on the day that we went. The staff seemed very nice and the people there seemed very happy. We talked to a few people that lived there and we talked to somebody whose in-laws lived there and everybody seemed pretty happy with the place.
It's not that anything's rundown. It's not the latest facility, but everything was clean and everything was in repair. There didn't seem anything out of repair. Maybe a couple of things seemed a little dated, but if that keeps the cost down, then I don't mind that at all. Just looking off the menu, it's varied and it allows them to get some of their own food if they want because they have a kitchenette and everything. It seems like it has a good variance in the menu, but I didn't see anybody eating. I didn't see any of the food.

We visited Brookdale Charlotte East. It was very nice and enjoyable. They're very outgoing. I was very satisfied with the tour. We enjoyed the food. We only had one meal there, but it was very nice, and I'm very particular about my food. My husband is very excited. The unit had a kitchenette, a bedroom, a living space, and a dining space. It's furnished, and it's very, very clean. If it had an odor, I wouldn't have stayed. I only met the people that were signing you up, and they were excellent at their job obviously or I wouldn't have signed up. I was very pleased. I'm looking forward to being there, and I can't wait to move in. The rooms were smaller than other places, but my overall impression is really good. I liked it. I'm signed up and ready to go. I don't have any reservations.

I've chosen Brookdale Charlotte East. It's been wonderful. Everybody seems happy there. The person that is in charge of getting new people in there, she is wonderful. She remembers everything, and she touches base with me. I just have nothing but good experiences there. I got to see the rooms there. I have been there three times, and it is very nice and roomy. I am getting a one bedroom, but it does not feel claustrophobic; the room's a nice size. I am excited about it. The food there is delicious. They invited us over for lunch one day, and it was really, really good. They have something planned every single day, sometimes more than once. I don't know anything specific, but I just know they have lots of activities. Except for the location, it is perfect. I just dont really love the location. The staff are all wonderful.

I toured Brookdale Charlotte East. It was great, it was lovely. It was very nice, the apartment I looked at was bright and sunny, and I had a meal there; the meal was quite good. I talked to several of the residents, they were friendly and warm, and Drew, the guy that toured me, was very helpful.

I plan on moving into Brookdale Charlotte East. They were congenial and personable. The studio apartment was fine. The staff was receptive. The food was good and the dining area was restaurant style. They had a full activity schedule, transportation, and church services. They have walking paths. The residents were friendly and the parking was adequate.

The people at Brookdale Charlotte East are very knowledgeable, helpful, and delightful. Once you're in it, it's very nice. They're designed for people who basically can maneuver in and out of their rooms themselves into a social room or to a bus. You have to be fairly independent and have a pretty high level of autonomy to live there. The individual rooms were nice, but the social gathering room could use a lot of work.

Brookdale Charlotte East had just had a party when we went there, but the people were not actively engaged and just sitting around and talking to each other. The woman who showed us around was very knowledgeable and seemed to be acquainted with the residents. They had a pretty active activity calendar. Like most places, they had buses to take you places.

Brookdale Charlotte East had a lot of amenities, but they had a built-in meal plan and their curb appeal wasn't so nice. When you walk in, it was very dark, and it was very unfriendly looking. It wasn't a pretty place at all and their apartments were horrible. I liked their activities and they had a great amenity program. They have a door decorating contest once a month and they encourage people to do things to make their place look prettier. They have a great big art room. I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment now and I would be paying $1,000 more a month for a 1-bedroom apartment here. Instead of having central air-conditioning, they have window units, so you can't put a piece of furniture in front of the windows. They had a beautiful dining room with beautiful lighting. The apartment had a very pretty kitchen. I just didn't like that its configuration did not give you any wall space. I also did not like the fact that I was given a tour by the bus driver.

My mother-in-law moved in Brookdale Charlotte East last Wednesday. She has a little assistance right now escorting her to meals and things like that, but so far so good with the independent living. I like the level of genuine care of the staff. I worked in health care for 44 years, and you kind of know when people care or whatever they are just going to the motion. On every level, everybody that we meet has been extremely caring, and that is important. Her apartment is very spacious. The floor plan is very well put together. It is everything that she really needs. The grounds are very beautiful. They have walking paths around it, and there is a beautiful outdoor area or patio under trees with lots of bird feeders and lots of big trees that makes it nice and shady. It is beautiful. It is in not in the best section of town, but the facility itself is dated, and the surroundings around it are so nice, you will not realize that it is kind of tucked back in a different area. It is affordable for her. Again, the staff makes the difference. I go there during the day and just watch them. I can see the staff interacting with the people constantly. Everybody seems happy. I talk to a lot of residents, and they are happy. It is so cute; they are all sitting together watching a movie in this big room munching on popcorn and having a great time. They have a lot of activities. It is the most impressive place that I have ever been to.
